Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the 4000 Series imagers. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.

Hand Held Products bar code imagers are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking the Imager

After you open the shipping carton, take the following steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Note: See

"Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to

your imager.

USB PC or Macintosh® Keyboard

Scan one of the following codes to program the imager for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes adds a CR and selects the terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard - 125, USB Japanese Keyboard - 134).

USB HID

Scan the following code to program the imager for USB HID bar code imagers. Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131.

USB COM Port Emulation

* Off

Scan the following code to program the imager to emulate a regular RS-232based COM port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will need to download a driver from the Hand Held Products website ( The driver will use the next available COM port number. Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the imager as a USB CDC class device and automatically use a class driver. Scanning the code below changes the terminal ID to 130.

Note: No extra configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.

Reading Techniques

The 4800p scans bar codes and also captures images. It can be used with or without a stand.

4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide 1 - 5

The 4800p’s viewfinder projects a green aiming beam that should be centered

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

over the bar code, but can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

Hold the scanner with the aiming beam centered over the bar code. The 4800p beeps when it successfully reads a bar code. Do not move the 4800p over another bar code until it beeps. The optimum distance between the 4800p and the object being scanned is 2 to 5 inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the 4800p to the stand’s tray is the proper distance.

The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code + unwanted reflection.

5° to prevent

Stand

4800p

The stand holds the 4800p at a fixed distance for capturing images or reading bar codes on security/identification cards. The wedge insert supplied with the stand provides the optimum angle for scanning and capturing images in most lighting conditions. The card should be placed on the wedge with the bar code closest to the back of the stand.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

Prefix

alpha numeric characters

Scanned Data

variable length 1-11

Suffix

1-11 alpha numeric characters

Points to Keep In Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.

Default suffix = None

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

Default Data Format setting = None.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on

page 5-5.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (

Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. See

.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro-

gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Refer to number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the inside the back cover of this manual.

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Code 39 Append

* Off

This function allows the imager to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the imager stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data. The imager stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The imager transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character other than a space.

Default = Off.
